Speaker 7 (01:34):
Here's Eric Sharp, Good morning five oh one on news
radio seven forty k TRH our top story this hour.
Almost two hundred illegal immigrants have reportedly been arrested in
Charlotte as the Trump Administration's immigration crackdown continues, but of
course not without some resistance.

Speaker 8 (01:51):
DHS says.

Speaker 9 (01:51):
Wild video shows a man driving a large white van
towards law enforcement in Charlotte as they were doing in
immigration operation nearly Ike's agents then takes officers on a
high speed chase. DHS says at one point, the driver,
a US citizen who had a firearm in that van,
rammed into law enforcement trying to escape. One officer was injured.

(02:13):
The driver is criminally charged and so called whistle warriors
clashing with agents and blowing their whistles at agents while
yelling obscenities and taunting the agents.

Speaker 7 (02:23):
As Fox's Matt Finn, The Trump administration says the operations
are working to lower crime in Charlotte Roley, Mayor Janet
Cowell said yesterday she expects immigration crackdown. We'll go into
her city as early as today, even though the border's secure.
President Trump now has to deal with the heart with
the Simon Hankinson says that the Heritage Foundation telling kat

(02:46):
r Rates that the president has to contend with the
mainstream media, paid activists, and corrupt courts.

Speaker 10 (02:52):
An activist judge is one who injects their own opinions
into that process and says, well, the law might not
strictly say this, but is what I think ought to happen.
So I'm going to say that that's what the law says.

Speaker 7 (03:03):
It's more lawfare from the left as they continue to
use any tactics possible to try and protect illegals. Representatichip
Roy has proposed a bill that would institute a temporary
complete stop on all immigration, part of an effort to
slow down the legal mass migrants that we've seen for decades.

Speaker 11 (03:21):
The bill would force Congress to make major reforms before
reopening the country.

Speaker 12 (03:25):
The vast majority of Alipak supporters want to see legal
immigration levels greatly reduced to more traditional, sustainable levels like
we used to have.

Speaker 11 (03:33):
William Dean, president of Alipak, did Warnan that there's a
major risk with any new immigration laws being proposed.

Speaker 12 (03:39):
Every multifaceted immigration bill we've seen contained some form of
amnesty or had some form of amnesty slips into it.

Speaker 11 (03:47):
Dean says there are plenty of ways to use existing
immigration law to stop the flow of mass migration. Ethan
Buchanan News Radio seven forty KTRH you.

Speaker 7 (03:55):
Numbers out this week show a sharp seventeen percent drop
in first time international student so on US campuses this fall.
Tougher feasts or rules from the Trump administration are said
to be the main reason the total count of international
students only slipped about one percent, but Republicans think that
the slide and new arrivals might finally push schools to
put domestic students first and clean up their budgets. President

(04:17):
Trump delivered remarks last night of the McDonald's Impact Summit
to discuss affordability for US citizens. The President's grocery prices
have gone down since he assumed the White House.

Speaker 13 (04:28):
In the past six months, the price of breakfast items
has fallen fourteen percent, Bread prices are down, dairy prices
are down, and the price of eggs has declined eighty
six percent since March.

Speaker 7 (04:39):
Also during the speech, the President town died the Big
Beautiful Bill, including topics like putting no tax on tips
and over time in order to keep small businesses open.
After months of fear mongering from the left of mainstream
media about the supposed and inflationary effects of tariffs, so
do study from the FED shows that tariffs actually re inflation.

Speaker 11 (05:02):
The study track data from France, the UK, and the US,
and all of it pointed to the same result.

Speaker 14 (05:07):
You can no longer say tariffs are going to push
up prices.

Speaker 8 (05:10):
They don't. We have one hundred and fifty years of
data showing the opposite.

Speaker 11 (05:14):
Bright Part's Finance and Economics editor John Carney says this
means we shouldn't be afraid to use tariffs.

Speaker 14 (05:20):
We can use it to combat China's predatory mercantilism. We
can use it to convince Europe to give us a
better deal with trade.

Speaker 8 (05:26):
We can use it to talk to Japan.

Speaker 11 (05:28):
He says, the Federal Reserve should also take a close
look at this and not be afraid to cut rates.

Speaker 7 (05:37):
We're about four months away from the Republican primary and
the President still has not made an endorsement in the
race for one of Texas's to Senate seats. Experts say
that among the GOP faithful that the Trump's stamp of
approval is worth its weight in gold.

Speaker 15 (05:51):
In this race. The Trump endorsement is the race. It
could swing it either way.

Speaker 7 (05:58):
Texas GOP strategist in any Menschell says that there is
a good reason why the President has not made a pick.
He needs the incumbent Senator John Cornyn to push his
priorities in the Senate, and he needs Congressman Wesley Hunt's
help in the House.

Speaker 6 (06:11):
And no, it's not just your lawn. A huge chunk
of Texas dried out.

Speaker 16 (06:16):
The latest numbers from federal forecasters show that just over
half of Texas.

Speaker 6 (06:20):
Is in a drought.

Speaker 16 (06:21):
That's bad news for many farmers.

Speaker 17 (06:23):
October is typically a pretty wet month that did not materialize,
so they're having to adjust.

Speaker 16 (06:29):
Jerry Joyner with the Texas Farm Bureau says even the
latest technology is not enough to keep up with demand.
San Antonio has seen some of the driest weather statewide.
Just over one inch of rain has been recorded since
the start of September. In Houston, they're running nearly seven
inches below their average on rexots.

Speaker 7 (06:47):
The Drum administration reportedly thinking about relocating FEMA to Texas
and putting the state's top vendency official in charge. Nim Kid,
headed the Texas Division of Emergency Management, declined an offer
earlier this year to run FEMA, said that he is
committed to serving Texas first. The Council reportedly expected to
recommend femas move to Texas As to accommodate kids desire

(07:08):
to remain here.

Speaker 6 (07:10):
I love it.

Speaker 7 (07:10):
I'm Eric Sharpro on Houston's news, weather and traffic station
News Radio seven forty k TRH.

Speaker 8 (07:16):
The countries are going to have shut down.

Speaker 18 (07:18):
ANTIFA would be Trump Asas and Ryan Ruth guilty on.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
It's always something I forgive him.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
One use Radio seven KTRH if I've only eat our
time here on Houston's Morning News. Is it mandatory to
eat turkey for Thanksgivings? It's tradition for most families. And
you know, I actually like turkey. I don't eat it
all that often, but to me, it wouldn't be Thanksgiving

(07:47):
without turkey. I'd have to have turkey in some form
or another. These days, we have a tendency eat out
on Thanksgiving. You know, there's just the two of us
most of the time, so it's a lot easier just
to go somewhere and you know, have a couple of
pieces of turkey. It's the leftovers. I don't want anymore,
all the leftovers. I still want turkey. By the way,

(08:09):
I realize that that I'm definitely in the minority here,
but I have never ever ever had deep fried turkey.
Is like, is that like the best? I hear it's
like the best. Making one scares me just a little
bit because I know that the fire hazard is there.

(08:29):
If you're not really careful, you got to take it
out in the backyard and do all that kind of stuff.
But I hear that that is that's the way to go.
If you're gonna have turkey, have a deep fried turkey now,
crispy on the outside, nice and moist on the inside. See,
I'm I'm starting to salve just thinking about it. Do
you know I actually have the ability to smell turkey
cooking when there is no turkey cooking. All I have

(08:53):
to do is think about it. All I have to
do is remember back to my childhood and my mom
cooking a Thanksgiving dinner, and I can conjure up the smell.
I can smell their stuffing, I can smell the green
bean castrole cooking. I can smell the turkey first and foremost.
I can smell it in my own home even though
there's no sign of a turkey anywhere in sight. So

(09:14):
it's not hard to convince me on the turkey thing.
But I realized there are people who don't like turkey.
So I guess my question would be, for those of
you who don't like turkey or don't like a traditional
roasted turkey, what do you either do with your turkey
that's different or what do you substitute instead of turkey?

(09:36):
KFC actually wants us to eat fried chicken. I love
fried chicken, but I'm not gonna get a bucket of
fried chicken on Thanksgiving. I'm sorry. They've added a new
festive feast meal that comes with a bucket of chicken,
mashed potatoes, biscuits and a flight. Hang on a flight
when you mean a flight of three different gravies? Said,

(09:56):
like a sampler, like going to the bar and trying
different kinds of beer. Flight of three different gravies brown, white, peppercorn,
and a new one called Southwest cheddar. That's the other
thing that uh my mom would roll over if if
I well, I I guess I could confess it. I
never liked my mom's gravy. I actually like gravy that
comes from a can better than homemade gravy most of

(10:20):
the time. Five to ten, Time for traffic and weather together.
Can you can just think about turkey. I can think
about turkey and I can smell it, cook.

Speaker 6 (10:28):
Tree, can you, Terry? I want you to think about turkey.
Everybody think about turkey. Okay, I think I smell it
this one.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Oh man, this smells good.

Speaker 19 (10:35):

Speaker 1 (10:35):

Right you remember that young man who attempted to Assassinate President,
trump missed him by a, whisker bloodied his, ear killed

(16:22):
somebody in the, crowd. Wounded several other people got off eight,
shots but none of them were fatal To President trump
at any. Rate, yeah, yeah we GOT i, know we
just kind of forgot all about. It we haven't said
much about it. Lately, well it turns out That Miranda
divine has been working on this. Issue she writes a
column From The New York. Post she, says there was

(16:44):
a big social media presence for this, guy and we've
learned something about who he was and some of the
groups he liked to gravitate.

Speaker 23 (16:52):
Towards, well they've told us that there was actually a
very large digital footprint left behind by twenty year Old Thomas,
crooks who Was Donald trump's would be assassin last year In, Butler.
Pennsylvania it's quite a different story to the one That
Christopher ray and his Deputy Paula bate Told congress just

(17:14):
in the couple of weeks after that assassination, Attempt and
we were sort of led to believe That Thomas crooks
was really a, ghost that there was no motive that
could be ascertained from his online. Accounts and yet a
source has provided us with a lot of information from

(17:34):
seventeen different online accounts That Thomas crooks, had and they
range From Google play to that site you reference before
called Deviant, art which is probably the biggest or one
of the biggest hubs online for this sexual fetish called,
furies where people dress up or fantasize about animal, characters

(18:00):
tune characters that are sort of, humanized and so it's very.
Bizarre but we also saw that With Charlie kirk's, killer
alleged Killer Tyler, robinson who was also involved in this
bizarre furry. Culture so there's not a lot that my
source discovered on those, lines but there was a little

(18:20):
bit the fact that this Guy Thomas crooks was interested
in this furry sit spent a lot of time, there
had various images that he liked and, reposted and also
gave his pronouns as they. Them BUT i think the
more important part is what the. Comments his online comments

(18:42):
from he was very, YOUNG i mean, fifteen sixteen seventeen
show us about how he became increasingly violent and sort
of radicalized Against. Democrats he was Pro, trump and then
In january of twenty, twenty he flipped one hundred and eighty.
Degrees something happened to make him become rabidly Anti, trump

(19:04):
and again his reetoric took more and more of a violent.

Speaker 8 (19:08):
Turn he started brushing up.

Speaker 23 (19:10):
Against there was a Neo nazi by the name fake,
name Probably William teppers who started encouraging crooks in more
and more violent Resuric and then suddenly something happened In
august of twenty twenty and he just disappeared, online very.
Unusual and, then of, course In july of twenty twenty,

(19:32):
four he fired off eight shots from a rooftop At
Donald trump at that rally In, butler Killing Corey comparatory
who was sitting Behind Donald trump and badly injuring two
other rally goers and Hitting Donald trump in the. Ear
only you, know by a miracle Did Donald trump not
get killed that?

Speaker 4 (19:52):

busyier than, hell and the lines will be. Long thank,
goodness you, know the government's. Opening we don't HAVE tsa
or air traffic control. Issues we shouldn't, Anyway but it's
going to be tough enough to get through all the

to be a good. YEAR i STILL i mentioned this.
Yesday i'll just mention it again this. Morning i'm not
trying to be A debbie downer. Here i'm not trying
to suggest that you know that there aren't a lot
of good things coming. Economically hopefully there. Are BUT i

(36:10):
would not be the least bit surprised if The democrats
do another government shutdown at the end Of. January, now
maybe it won't have the impact of the last one
had because you've got the air traffic control people and
snap benefits and all that stuff funded through twenty twenty.
Six but if they do attempt to do that because
they're trying to help bring the economy down to help
with the midterm, ELECTIONS i wouldn't be. Shocked, Meanwhile Treasury

(36:32):
Secretary Scott, besson he's very bullish on twenty twenty six.

Speaker 38 (36:36):
Just didn't spring. Up we've been working on it since
day one That we've been working on trade deals With
central And South american countries for six seven eight, months
and just this past week we signed the trade. Deals
so not only will the tariffs come off some of
the things you just, listed like, coffee like The, coco

(36:59):
many other and as many other. Items that's the result
of the trade deals going. Through and then we will
see this go. Down and we're also seeing the import
barriers for the other countries come. Through so this is
a complete trade, policy and now we are going to
see it affect the. Prices we inherited this terrible. Inflation

(37:23):
we are flattening it. OUT i believe we're going to
push it. Down and energy prices are, down interest rates are.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
Down but the real.

Speaker 38 (37:32):
Thing that is going to happen that is going to
Give americans real purchasing power. Increases it's going to be through.
Growth SO i would expect in the first two quarters
we are going to see the inflation curve bend down
and the real income curve substantially. Accelerate and when those

(37:54):
two lines, Cross americans are going to feel. It But,
MARIA i will tell you what we're not going to.
Do what we're not going to do is tell The
american people that they don't know how they're, feeling which
is what The biden administration.

Speaker 28 (38:05):
Did when do you think that the public is going
to really feel an impact from your moves to rein
in the cost of?

Speaker 39 (38:12):
Living how long will that?

Speaker 38 (38:14):
TAKE i think we are going to see a substantial
acceleration in the economy in the first second, quarter AND
i think we are also we're already seeing on many.
PRICES i think twenty twenty, six thanks To President trump's signature,
plans is going to be a great year for Working,
americans for the. MARKETS i call it parallel. Prosperity Main

(38:38):

Speaker 1 (45:53):
IN town, i mean it feels like things are just
getting worse.

Speaker 4 (45:56):
And Worse use radio SEVEN. Forty ktrh was there Ever
a sissler Here? In houston did we ever Have? A? Sizzler,
sissler like here's another name you, might remember Steakhouse, name
ponderosa Remember? Them bonanza those, were all, you know cheaper
steakhouses back in. The, Day uh sizzler only one of

(46:20):
those who evidently is trying to make a comeback at.
This point sizzler making a comeback with a new refreshed
look and and they're expanding a. Little bit they're. Mainly
There they're west coast at, This, Point. California utah, YOU
know I think oregon has a Couple. Of sisslers there's
like Seventy four sizzlers left in, the country and they're

(46:42):
all On the. West COAST so i don't know if
they're going to end up expanding nationwide. Or not but
they're going to be adding, more restaurants, refreshing look trying
to bring that, steakhouse BACK and i just kind of
have to wonder about the timing of doing something like
that considering what's going on right now with. Beef prices
if you're if you your main menu is all. ABOUT
beef i Mean they sissler has like ribs and chicken

(47:04):
and seafood and a few, other things but they're basically.
A steakhouse if in a burger place with the high price,
of beef is this a good time to be making,
a comeback seems like it might be kind of tough
to pull that.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
One off.

Speaker 4 (47:17):
All right question of the day today has to do, with,
turkey BECAUSE as i mentioned to open the, show TODAY
when i put myself in the right frame of MIND
and i start Thinking about, THANKSGIVING dinner i can actually
smell the turkey COOKING and i will salivate a. Little

into the turkey is Especially. AROUND thanksgiving i Can't imagine thanksgiving.
Without Turkey But i'm i'm not the only one on.
This one there's plenty of people who aren't really into

(48:02):

Was twofold either your favorite way to prepare turkey if

to make it more palatable, to you or your alternative
to Turkey.

Speaker 4 (53:52):
About property, taxes quite frequently because as long as we
have a Property, tax in texas you never really. Own
your home even if if you paid, off the bank
you still have to pay off the, state every year
or they can put a lien. On Your property JAMES,
quinterol joins us but he's the policy Director Of The Texas.
PUBLIC policy foundation i, know property taxes Because you and
i've talked about this quite. A few times is a

(54:13):
big deal. In your world i'm looking at since the governor's,
Plan came out i'm looking at some headlines from the
mainstream Media. Here in texas this Is From The San.
Antonio Express News governor greg gabbot's push to end local
property school taxes Earns An f Houston chronicle says abbott
promises to starve public schools. Of tax revenues so you

(54:35):
know where the mainstream. Is coming from how hard of
a task is it to fund public schools without doing it?

Speaker 6 (54:41):
With, property taxes, well good morning, And.

Speaker 43 (54:44):
Great question, jimmy you know it's no surprise that the
dinosaur media can't think outside the box when it comes.
To property taxes but the fact of the matter is
it is entirely achievable to eliminate the school district maintenance.
In operations tax now that, Was a mouthful but what
the maintenance and operations tax or THE m and o

(55:06):
tax means or pays for is just day to day, supplies,
and salaries right and that comes to about thirty five billion.
Dollars a year so if the legislature wanted to it
could easily pass a constitutional amendment dedicating some portion of
future surplus to buying down THAT m and o rate

(55:30):
over time until. It reaches zero now that's not, some
fantastical idea because we've already, been doing it except we've
been doing it. Via statutory change so, since twenty nineteen
we've effectively cut in half THE maximum m ando tax
rate from about a dollar seventeen to somewhere in the.

(55:53):
Low sixties today so what the governor is proposing to
do is to put this in the constitution and make
sure that we continue to make progress on this until,
we reach zero and then we hold it.

Speaker 4 (56:06):
There in, Perpetuity, all right well that takes here that
portion of what you're, paying property taxes but obviously you
pay a lot. More than, that you pay most of
us paying mud tax and other types. Of property taxes
is the governor also proposing reducing and Or, eliminating those.

Speaker 43 (56:21):
Yeah you know one of the great frustrations at the
legislature today is the fact that state lawmakers continue to
devote billions upon billions of dollars, toward tax relief and
yet nobody seems. To feel it and that's, because, other
cities counties and special districts have stepped into the breach

(56:41):
and they've taken chunks out of.

Speaker 6 (56:45):
People's tax relief.

Speaker 43 (56:47):
And they've done so through rate hikes and bond elections
and certificates of obligation. And other means and so what
one of the other Parts of the governor's plan calls
for the implementation of a. Local spending limit we need
to put some reasonable spending limits in place to make

(57:07):
sure that cities and counties in particular are not eroding
the value of tax relief as it comes down.

Speaker 4 (57:13):
From, THE legislature also, i would, think you know a
big part of what goes into even if you're lucky
enough to not have a local, tax rate hike if your,
assessment goes up and in recent years our assessments have
all gone. Through the roof if your, assessment goes up
you pay. A higher tax is there also Part of
the governor's plan that would put a limit on how

(57:34):
much more your your home could be assessed on any
given year from.

Speaker 6 (57:38):
Year, to gear yeah that's.

Speaker 43 (57:40):
A great question so right now We have about texans
enjoy a ten, percent homestead cap which means your taxable
value can't grow by more than ten percent if. You're
a Homesteaded what the governor's plan calls for is extending
that cap to other types of, profit like commercial multifamily

(58:01):
and industrial and really extending this sort of. Protection, to
everybody now in the, ideal policy world something like this
wouldn't even be necessary because your taxing units would adjust
their rates down to compensate. For value growth because one thing,
that local, officials you know local officials love to blame

(58:25):
value growth without ever fully recognizing that they have the
ability to bring. Those rates down they just. Choose not
to and so what this what, the governor's plan this
Part of the governor's plan would force them to do
is actually make those sorts of adjustments where they're taking
hard votes, on rate hikes and so, that's you know

(58:45):
that's another, part of this.

Speaker 4 (58:47):
This, whole concept well it's gonna be interesting to watch
this whole thing unfold because the governor obviously is making
this a key part of his. Re election, plan, as
always sir thank good to. Talk to you thank. YOU

Yeah that a comment up there is it's something else
six thirty seven or Time Here In. Houston's morning news
it's Called. Thirty one atlas you've probably heard the, story,
by now Right. Thirty one atlas it's supposedly a comet
That's passing the sun and it Will, pass near earth,
but you know not really all that Terribly, close to

(01:06:40):
earth maybe close Enough to observe earth if that's what you.
Want to do and it's not behaving like, a normal
comet which has some scientists wondering if it, is, something else,
because after all chances are pretty good we're not alone.
In the universe maybe this has come. From somewhere Else
there's a harvard scientist who's taken a lot of grief

(01:07:00):
for his belief. System on this His Name. Is ari
lobe here he is talking about the potential for thirty
one at lists to MAYBE. Be, a ufo well.

Speaker 39 (01:07:10):
It could be that it was sent by some intelligence
civilization Elsewhere In the. Milky way, galaxy you know the
fundamental Question Is whether elon musk was the most accomplished
space Entrepreneur Since the big bang thirteen point eight. Billion
years ago and there are so many, stars out there
one hundred, billion of them and they many of them ten,

(01:07:32):
percent or so have a planet the Size of the
earth roughly at. The same separation, so you know in,
our cosmic neighborhood there could have been many technologists like
us a, long time ago billions. Of years ago and
so the question is are? They out there and the
best way to find out is to check for any
spacecraft that May Enter the solar system from outside and,

(01:07:55):
lo and behold there was a big object The size
of manhattan that Was spotted on july. First this year
it's moving in the plane of the planets as if
it wanted to have a reconnaissance mission, towards the planet
and it Just. Passed the sun it had some, non
gravitational acceleration meaning that there was some force acting on

(01:08:19):
it in, addition to gravity and it.

Speaker 5 (01:08:21):
Looks really weird there are SEVERAL.

Speaker 39 (01:08:23):
Anomalies that i spotted twelve of them that, make it
unusual unlike the comets that. We're familiar with right we
do see seven jets. Coming from it some are Directed
at the sun and some are pointed Away. From the
sun and it's not clear what is the origin. Of
these jets and one possibility is that it is pockets

(01:08:46):
of ice on the surface. Of a rock but another
is that, these are thrusters, and you know they go
a million kilometers, in all directions, and you know. That's
quite unusual and the good news is the but we
can collect a lot of data in. The coming weeks
it will Get closest To earth, on december nineteenth about

(01:09:07):
a week, before the holidays and let's just hope that
it will not send, any unwanted.

Speaker 4 (01:09:12):

RADIO seven ktrh oh i think it's the tariffs, have
worked very well. Thank you very much seven twenty three
is Our Time Here. In houston's morning News We're joined
by John. Carney from breit bart he, is all about finance.
He's all about economics he's their. Economics and finance, editor
by the way there's a story That he wrote for

(01:32:45):
breitbart on one hundred and fifty years of, evidence showing
that tariffs unlike what evidently The head, of the fed
things tariffs. Don't add to inflation. They actually lower, Inflation, Why,
is that john.

Speaker 14 (01:32:58):
So what they did is they looked through what happened
after countries raised tariffs beginning in eighteen seventy and THEY,
looked IN, the Uk, the us and france and what
they found is inflation actually falls and. There, is a
rise also it's not all good news. In all things economics.

(01:33:18):
There are trade offs it's actually there's a rise in
unemployment and there is, a decline in inflation which is
very different from what economists have been predicting. For a
long time exactly why this, happens is not clear and
the paper is actually very. Clear about this point that's
something they need to do for the research on this is,

(01:33:40):
a result that's unexpected it's not what they've been telling us,
would be the case and so they need to figure out.
Exactly why this happens but right now what they have,
is just you know one hundred and fifty years of history. Showing,
what does happen now we've got to. Figure, out the mechanism.

Speaker 4 (01:33:57):
Well the best indicator of the future is what's. Happened
in the past, that being the case DO you think
the fed takes a look at this, Study, and maybe
says okay we've been going. About this all wrong we've
been worried about inflation. Connected to these tariffs mean we
need to look at it the opposite way and tackled,
the unemployment problem instead because we are seeing an uptick
in unemployment and. Lower rates, Even further.

Speaker 8 (01:34:19):
That's right that's what. They should be doing whether, they will.

Speaker 14 (01:34:22):
OR not will See I, bet that jerome powell the
fed's Next. MEETING is in december I Bet that when
jerome powell, holds his press conference at least one reporter
is going to ask. Him about this, report it, has
been you. Know very widely circulated all the people.

Speaker 8 (01:34:42):
WHO write about the fed and are in those meetings.

Speaker 14 (01:34:46):
Definitely know about it it Comes Out Of The. San
FRANCISCO federal reserve and. I think that's important this didn't,
emerge from you know some, sort Of You Know the
trump white House or some pro.

Speaker 8 (01:34:59):
Trump you know economists it emerged from one.

Speaker 14 (01:35:03):
Of the most Unexpected PLACES you could and i have
to give credit to the economists for going ahead. And
publishing their work there's a problem in social, sciences where
when economists anthropologists that really any psychologists come across a finding,
that they don't like it goes into a desk drawer

(01:35:25):
and never sees. The, light of day, Here, they actually said.
Okay this is unexpected it's not, what we, would have
you know what we set out to show when. We
did this study but. It's still very significant so they went.
Ahead and published it. So, good for them yeah that's
it's a. Rare thing, these, days Thank You, Sir Appreciated

file you know the people who HAVE been at the
fbi for for years are there to do a very
specific job and try to go about doing their job
in the best. Way they know how and. Then there's
the politics where does the POLITICS? Begin, at the fbi,
well first.

Speaker 21 (01:50:55):
Of all thank. You for having me houston Is my
hometown and i'm happy to be here today. And to,
JOIN y'all you KNOW i joined the fbi as a
special agent, back IN twenty ten and i came as
a result of previously witnessing the nine to Eleven Terrorist Attacks.
In new york, CITY at the time I Was working
AT merrill lynch and i heard the first Plane crash.

(01:51:18):
INTO the north tower i saw the second Plane crash.
Into the south tower and there was a monumental moment
IN my life as i was trying to, evacuate FROM
my building when i. WAS in the elevator i write about,
it in my book and it was this epiphany and
It was like literally god speaking peace to me in.
A VERY tumultuous moment and, I, felt my heart nicole

(01:51:39):
if you get, out of here alive you will one
day go back, and serve your country and you will
stand As. A WITNESS of god and i Never forgot
that promise i'd made to myself in that. Vow on that,
ELEVATOR so fast forward I Continue. Working on, WALL street
you know i went and worked at A Hedge, fund
IN beverly hills but i still WASN'T really fulfilling what
i thought. WAS my higher purpose I. APPLY to the

(01:52:01):
fbi i get. IN in the book, i detailed Application,
process going through quantico things that you never hear about
that really NO one at, the fbi speaks about but
people tend. TO find quite FASCINATING I. Get to Fbi
miami i'm. Working white collar CRIME you know what I referred,
to as fbi one people that came to the agency,
to uphold The constitution, protect the american people and. DO

(01:52:22):
the right thing i didn't even know that politics was A,
thing At the fbi but i'll Tell you that on july,
fifth of twenty, Sixteen Loud and clear james comy came
out In front of the american people in that press
conference and in essence read An Indictment stating why hillary
clinton was guilty and there was probable cause that she.
Had committed a crime but yet at the, end of a,

(01:52:43):
statement he basically, says no Reasonable Prosecutor? Which are, HILLARY
clinton oh. Yeah, i, remember that well yeah that was
a defining moment FOR. Us at THE fbi that's when
I first. Really discovered FBI two at the i two
are the people that are in the agency. That came
in there they use their law enforcement power to push
their own. Political and social AGENDAS and with TIME i

(01:53:06):
started seeing fbi two more. And more and more, Now
keep in Mind. I'm down in miami i'm working violent,
crime at the time, putting, away human, traffickers murderers you
know the most heinous CRIMES you can Imagine I worked,
at parkland school, shooting heart wrenching tragedy While, simultaneously PEOPLE.
In washington D C and our washington field office are

(01:53:28):
committing political corruption and. Again causing major issues but let,
me make this clear it wasn't. Just at, the, top
people think oh it WAS, just UP in dc and
i talk, ABOUT in my book fbi two actually, started
at the top but it literally trickled down into all.
Of the, field offices.

Speaker 4 (01:53:44):
You know It's funny my my sicilian in laws have
a saying the fish rots, from the head down and
this sounds like that's. Exactly what you're describing how far?

Speaker 1 (01:53:53):
Down did THAT? Go do.

Speaker 6 (01:53:54):
THE fbi it's worse i.

Speaker 21 (01:53:56):
Can tell you that THERE'S support Staff and fbi in
miami that were making.

Speaker 14 (01:54:02):
Again read.

Speaker 21 (01:54:02):
THE book it was i was flabbergasted by some OF
the things. That i was, hearing keep in mind at
The rate of mar ALAGO That was in fbi, miami's
area of, Jurisdiction Because you know PALM Beach, is in
fbi miami Which Is where mar. A lago is located
SOME of the statements i, Was hearing AND passing i'm just,
i couldn't believe it but, as the book progresses you
know they're honorable agents trying to. Do the right, thing hold,

(01:54:24):
the line. HAVE integrity be fair i was trying to save.
Children working human trafficking my BEST friend in the fbi
